American RadioWorks - Gangster Confidential
For 20 years, Réne Enríquez fought his way to the top of one of
America's most ruthless gangs. He killed and ordered the deaths of gang
rivals on Southern California streets and behind bars. Then he had a
change of heart. "Gangster Confidential" follows Enríquez's quest for
redemption and freedom inside America's most brutal prison system. This
documentary draws on unprecedented access to California jails and
prisons and more than 30 hours of audio diaries recorded by Enríquez. Here the feature again...
America Abroad Media: The Catholic Church is one of the world’s longest-standing institutions
and throughout its history has played a unique role on the global
stage. The Church figured prominently in the fall of communism and has
contributed to solving conflicts across the globe. At the same time
that the Church ministers to more than one billion Catholics worldwide,
its legions of clergy and diplomats also carry on the faith’s tradition
of involvement in global matters, by promoting development, advocating
its position on reproductive rights and building peace. On this edition
of America Abroad, we’ll travel to the Vatican to explore its foreign
policy machinery and to Colombia to look at the Church’s attempts to
build peace in a troubled country. Hear the feature again...
